Who This Is For
This ammunition is purpose-built for varmint hunters pursuing prairie dogs, ground squirrels, coyotes, and other small to medium pest species at distances where velocity and precision matter most. It's equally well-suited for competitive shooters and handloaders benchmarking factory loads in 22-250 Remington rifles who want proven, consistent performance right out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the V-MAX bullet better for varmint hunting than a standard soft point?
The V-MAX features a precision polymer tip that initiates immediate, controlled expansion the moment it contacts the target, producing rapid fragmentation that transfers energy explosively. Unlike traditional soft points, the polymer tip also dramatically improves the ballistic coefficient, resulting in a flatter trajectory and less wind drift — critical advantages when shooting at distances of 200 yards or more in open terrain.
Is this 22-250 load suitable for coyote hunting, or is it designed only for smaller varmints?
Hornady's 50 Grain V-MAX in 22-250 Remington is effective on coyotes at moderate ranges, typically within 200–250 yards, where retained velocity and energy remain sufficient for clean, humane harvests. At extended ranges, the rapid-fragmentation design may limit penetration on larger varmints, so hunters targeting coyotes at longer distances may want to consider heavier bullet options for optimal performance.
Will this ammunition cycle reliably in semi-automatic 22-250 platforms?
Yes. Hornady loads Varmint Express ammunition to consistent SAAMI pressure specifications using carefully selected propellants, making it reliable in both bolt-action and semi-automatic 22-250 Remington rifles. As always, it's a good practice to verify your specific firearm's manual for any ammunition weight or velocity restrictions, especially in gas-operated platforms.
